Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a valve for gradual delaying control of full engagement of the parking brake in hydraulic braking circuits for vehicles.
- Vehicles, especially of the industrial type, use parking brakes actuated by large springs which, if the braking system is not powered, lock the vehicle in maximum safety conditions.
- During conventional use of the vehicle, such parking brakes are kept disengaged by the pressure of the fluid (usually, but not exclusively, oil) which flows inside the actuation circuit of the braking system and acts on corresponding contrast pistons provided for this purpose.
- The engagement of the parking brake can be actuated both by means of a proportional-type valve, and in this case engagement occurs gradually, and by means of a valve of the on-off type, actuated manually or automatically, when the vehicle stops, and in this second case sudden complete halting of the wheels is produced.
- This sudden halting causes dangerous situations, if the driver of the vehicle is not wearing the prescribed safety belts, by propelling him suddenly forward.
- Another source of danger can be the fact that if the vehicle has, at the front, forks or buckets for carrying bulky and heavy objects or materials and such objects or materials are actually present, sudden halting risks causing the loss of the load, with severe danger for anyone nearby.
- Examples of brake control systems are available from douments US-A- 4 923 254 and US-A- 4 432 585.
- The aim of the present invention is to eliminate the above-noted drawbacks of the prior art by providing a valve for delayed control of the engagement of the parking brake in hydraulic braking circuits for vehicles which allows to obtain an effective action combined with a reaction of the vehicle having no violent effects.
- This aim and this and other objects which will become better apparent hereinafter are achieved by a valve according to the present invention, that has the features set forth in
claim 12. - Further characteristics and advantages of the present invention will become better apparent from the description of a preferred embodiment of a valve for gradual delayed control of full engagement of the parking brake in hydraulic braking circuits for vehicles, illustrated only by way of non-limitative example in the accompanying drawings, wherein:
- Figure 1 is a schematic sectional view of the gradual delayed control valve according to the invention during the free circulation of the vehicle, with the parking braking action accordingly deactivated;
- Figure 2 is the same schematic sectional view as Figure 1, with the valve in the configuration for starting the activation of the parking braking action;
- Figure 3 is again the same schematic sectional view of the preceding figures, with the valve in an intermediate step of the delay of the final full activation of the parking braking action;
- Figure 4 is a view of the same configuration as in Figure 3 of the valve according to the invention, but using a first valve means in an alternative embodiment;
- Figure 5 is a view of the valve in the configuration for the final engagement of the parking braking action;
- Figure 6 plots, as a function of time, the force F for the actuation of the parking braking action and the force of the pressure P of the fluid which contrasts the action of the force F.
-
- With reference to the figures, 1 designates a valve for gradual delayed control of full engagement of the
parking brake 2 in hydraulic braking circuits for vehicles, schematically designated by theline 3. - The
valve 1 is substantially constituted by a prism-shaped body 1a which has at least onefirst coupling port 4 for pipedconnection 5 to a control andsupply valve 6 for activating the parking braking action, and at least onesecond coupling port 7, for piped connection to thebraking circuit 3 of the vehicle. - The
first port 4 and thesecond port 7 are connected one another by way of at least onedirect duct 8 and at least onesecondary duct 9 being alternately active; saiddirect duct 8 is controlled by means of a corresponding first valve means 10 and saidsecondary duct 9 is regulated by way ofmeans valve 13 which are circuitally interposed between thesecond port 7 and thefirst port 4. - At least the first valve means 10 is provided with an element for presetting the intervention threshold, being substantially constituted by a
helical spring 14 which reacts to compression and is interposed between said first valve means and an opposite retention means 15 having a thread with a fine adjustment pitch. - The second valve means 13 also is provided with second preset contrast elements for the intervention threshold being more simply constituted by a
helical compression spring 16 with a preset modulus of elasticity. - In detail, the first valve means 10 is constituted, in the preferred embodiment of the
valve 1, by aflow control element 17 having a conical profile and being slidingly inserted in thedirect duct 8 in order to control theuseful passage section 18 of said duct in contrast with thespring 14. - In a possible alternative embodiment of the
valve 1, shown in Figure 4, the first valve means 10 is constituted by a flow control element 17' which is substantially stem-like and is slidingly inserted in thedirect duct 8 and is perimetrically provided with passages 17'a for controlling theuseful passage section 18, again in contrast with thefirst presetting elements 14. - The flow control element 17' is axially provided with a blind cavity 17'b which extends, from one end which faces the
port 7, substantially to half the overall length of the flow control element 17' and is radially connected to the inside of thedirect duct 8 by way of said passages 17'a. - The
secondary duct 9 is divided into at least one pair ofbranches 9a and 9b which are connected through an additional common branch 9c and merge indriving means 12 for driving the second valve means 13; said driving means comprise achamber 19 for accumulating fluid, whose volume can vary by way of slidingmeans 20; the second valve means 13 and themeans 11 for reducing the useful passage section of saidbranch 9a are arranged respectively on thebranches 9b and 9a. - The sliding
means 20 are constituted by apiston 21 which is mounted so as to slide hermetically in thechamber 19 and in contrast withelastic means 22 which are provided with a reaction spring and can be preloaded. - The
means 11 for reducing the useful passage section of thesecondary duct 9a are constituted by a needle-shapedflow control element 23 which can slide in acorresponding seat 24 being coaxial to saidfirst branch 9a and being adapted to enter it more or less deeply, accordingly adjusting its passage section, by way of the action of screw means 25 with a fine adjustment pitch which can be actuated from the outside of said prism-shaped body 1a. - The second valve means 13 is constituted by an additional
flow control element 26 which is provided with a segment having a conical profile and is fitted so that it can slide coaxial in said second branch 9b; said flow control element has anend 26a which enters, at the closure stroke limit of said flow control element, the variable-volume chamber 19 in order to make contact with thepiston 21 when said piston is in the final portion of its sliding in the chamber and towards it. - It should be noted that the seat for the
elastic means 22, designated by thereference numeral 22a, can be connected to the outlet S or directly to the atmosphere, in order to avoid oxidation effects. - The operation of the invention is as follows: in the configuration shown in Figure 1, the vehicle can circulate freely, since the parking braking action is deactivated.
- In this condition, the
flow control element 17 closes the useful passage section of themain duct 18 and is kept in this state by the thrust applied thereto by thespring 14, which is suitably preset by acting on theelements 15. - The supply pressure P1 provided by the
control valve 6 acts on the fluid inside thechamber 19, by passing through thebranches 9a and 9c of thesecondary duct 9; the branch 9b also is supplied at the pressure P1, and theflow control element 26 rises in order to allow the passage of pressurized fluid, which reaches the cylinders C, keeping compressed the springs M which act on the brakes of the vehicle, consequently keeping them released. - When parking braking is engaged by the driver by acting on the appropriately provided control located proximate to the vehicle driver's seat, the valve 6 (see Figure 2) switches towards the outlet S the direction of the flow of the pressurized fluid P1.
- In this condition, the fluid reverses the direction of inflow and the pressure in the
circuit 3, designated by P1, begins to decrease. - The pressure acting on the
flow control element 17 overcomes the reactive thrust of thespring 14 and opens the port 18: the fluid passes from thecircuit 3 through theport 7, then through themain duct 8 and theport 4, reaching the outlet S. - In this condition, the springs M gradually press on the cylinders C and the brakes of the vehicle are activated with a reduced force F1: in the chart of Figure 6, this condition is plotted at time t1.
- The pressure decreases inside the
chamber 19 as well and the fluid flows towards the outlet S through thebranches 9a and the common branch 9c; thebranch 9a is regulated by the needle-shapedflow control element 23, and the adjustment of the position of said flow control element increases or decreases the rate of discharge of the fluid towards the outlet S through it; said pressure decrease causes the beginning of the movement of thecylinder 21 in thechamber 19, pushed by thespring means 22. - When the value of the pressure P drops to the preset value of the
spring 14, theflow control element 17 closes theuseful passage section 18, blocking the outflow of the fluid through said section and towards the outlet S. - In this condition, shown in Figure 3, the braking force maintains an approximately constant value which is close to the previously mentioned value F1, i.e. it gradually stops the rotation of the wheels of the vehicle without completely halting it: the fluid still continues to gradually flow towards the outlet S, arriving from the
chamber 19 by being pushed by thecylinder 21 and passing through the port 4: in the chart of Figure 6, this condition is represented by the interval T between t1 and t2. - When the
cylinder 21 reaches abutment against theend 26a of theflow control element 26, it lifts said flow control element, opening the corresponding useful passage section of thesecondary duct 9. - This bypasses the
main duct 8 and directly connects the outlet S to the cylinders C of the brakes of the vehicle; the fluid contained in them is discharged completely, and the braking force applied by the springs M reaches its maximum value, indicated by F2 in the chart; simultaneously, the value of the pressure P in thecircuit 3/5 drops to zero, and the vehicle thus achieves the normal complete parking braking action after the delay interval T. - It is noted that in the embodiment of the flow control element 17' shown in Figure 4, the open condition of the
port 18 entails on one side the thrust of the fluid on its transverse cross-section and on the other side the action of thecontrast spring 14; in addition to this, there is the action for controlled discharge of the fluid through the radially arranged through passages or ports 17'a, which produces a dynamic equilibrium of said flow control element 17', which moves back and forth, blocking or opening said ports 17'a: this allows to automatically compensate for any losses of pressure caused by seepage of the seals. - In practice it has been found that the described invention achieves the intended aim.
- The invention thus conceived is susceptible of numerous modifications and variations, all of which are within the scope of the appended claims.
- In practice, the materials used, as well as the shapes and the dimensions, may be any according to requirements without thereby abandoning the scope of the protection of the appended claims.
- Where technical features mentioned in any claim are followed by reference signs, those reference signs have been included for the sole purpose of increasing the intelligibility of the claims and accordingly, such reference signs do not have any limiting effect on the interpretation of each element identified by way of example by such reference signs.
